⇨ Japanese A quadrupedal Beast Digimon with wheel-like shells on its arms and feet. The bizarre sight of it rapidly spinning its characteristic shells, and moving around just like a vehicle while prone is something that will stick with anyone once they have seen it. Despite being bizarre, it can back up at high speed by spinning its shells in reverse, as well as perform jumps and sharp turns, granting it high, three-dimensional mobility that is impossible for ordinary creatures.
It naturally puts its mobility to good use in combat; the ramming attacks it performs while accelerating have high offensive power, and it also demonstrates a quick-witted fighting style that includes raising dust clouds by pressing its rotating shells against the ground to blind its opponents.
It is also capable of standing up and walking on two legs, albeit if need be. However, this is rarely seen even outside of battle, and it seems that Turbomon finds it easier to travel using its shells.
Its Special Moves are rapidly spinning the shells on its arms and pulverizing the opponent (Brutal Wheel), and spinning its whole body at high speed and sending the opponent flying with a powerful ramming attack (Crush Gear Spin).

⇨ English 両腕と両足に、車輪のような甲殻を持つ四足獣型のデジモン。この特徴的な甲殻を高速回転させ、うつ伏せのような姿勢のまま、まるで車両のように走行する奇怪な姿は一度見たら忘れられないだろう。奇怪ではあるが、甲殻を逆回転することで高速のバック走行を行ったり、ジャンプや急旋回を行ったりなど、通常の生物にはありえない三次元的な、高い機動力を獲得している。 その機動力は当然戦闘にも活かされ、加速のついた状態での体当たりは攻撃力も高く、回転する甲殻を地面に押し付けることで砂埃を巻き起こし、目くらましをするなど機転の利いた戦い方も披露する。 一応ではあるが、二本足で立って歩くことも可能ではある。しかし、その姿は非戦闘時ですらほとんど見られず、本人としても甲殻を利用して走行する方が楽なようだ。 必殺技は、腕の甲殻を高速回転させて相手をすり潰す『ブルータルホイール』と、全身を高速で回転させ強力な体当たりで相手を弾き飛ばす『クラッシュギアスピン』。
